Brisbane
Breathe it out
Close your eyes
It's finally taken over
Silence falls
In the room
I wanna keep this moment like a bottle of perfume
'Cause I'm terrified that those wrinkles by your eyes
Will become blurry lines
In a couple of years from now
When I'm thinking of your face and suddenly it fades from me
Fifteen, good years
We couldn't be much closer
But if you're gone, and I'm here
Am I just somebody's daughter now?
Your heart is slowing down
Like a train pulling into the station
Now I'm about as helpless as
Those empty bottles of medication
And there'll come a time when I'm dressed in white
And the space by my side
Should've been filled by you
But I'll be thinking of your face
And hoping that you're thinking of me too
Fifteen, good years
We couldn't be much closer
But if you're gone, and I'm here
Am I just somebody's daughter now?
You gave me life
I guess I thought you'd be immortal
Those Brisbane lights - they're shining for you
Your lungs are black, your body's fading grey
But everything is blinding me now
Fifteen, good years
We couldn't be much closer
But if you're gone, and I'm here
Am I just somebody's daughter now?
Fifteen, good years
Those Brisbane lights - They're shining for you
But if you're gone, and I'm here
Am I just somebody's daughter now?
